REPORT 


OF   THE 


CANAL   COMMISSIONER 


CANAL  OFFICE,  > 

Lockport,  Dec.   2,  1844.    $ 
To  his  Excellency,  THOMAS  FORD, 

Governor  of  the  State  of  Illinois: 

SIR:  Pursuant  to  the  law  of  the  last  session  of  the  Legislature,  the 
Commissioner  of  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  canal  has  the  honor  to  sub- 
mit the  following 

ANNUAL  REPORT. 

Immediately  after  the  adjournment  of  the  last  Legislature,  the  under- 
signed, acting  Canal  Commissioner,  repaired  to  Lockport,  and  in  obedi- 
ence to  the  provisions  of  "An  act  to  reduce  the  number  of  officers  and 
agents  on  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  canal,"  approved  March  2,  1843,  he 
discharged  all  the  officers  and  agents  in  the  employ  of  the  State,  and  con- 
nected with  the  canal,  except  the  Secretary,  who  was  continued  in  office 
by  that  law.  And  immediately  thereafter,  according  to  the  provisions 
of  said  act,  appointed  William  Gooding,  Engineer,  and  Isaac  Cook, 
Agent  to  protect  the  timber  on  canal  lands.  The  Engineer  having  dis- 
charged all  the  duties  required  under  his  appointment,  resigned,  which 
resignation  took  place  on  the  first  instant. 

A  very  small  amount  of  work  has  been  done  on  said  canal  since  the 
last  annual  report,  made  December,  1842.  At  the  close  of  the  last  ses- 
sion of  the  Legislature,  a  few  contractors  were  at  work  under  contracts 
between  Dresden  and  Marseilles,  entered  into  previous  to  the  passage  of 
"An  act  for  the  completion  of  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  canal,  and  for 
the  payment  of  the  public  debt,"  approved  February  21,  1843.  These 
contractors  were  notified  of  the  passage  of  said  act,  and  directed  to  sus- 
pend work  preparatory  to  a  settlement  under  and  according  to  the  pro- 
visions of  the  above  recited  law;  which  order  was  immediately  complied 
With,  and  the  work  was  entirely  suspended. 

Some  time  in  June,  1843.  the  Board  of  appraisers,  appointed  by  your 
Excellency,  reached  Lockport  and  immediately  organized;  and  all  the 
contractors  except  those  on  sections  16  and  17 — the  river  channel  at 


(20)  4 

Sauganaskee  swamp,  and  lock  15,  at  the  western  terminus  of  the  canal, 
came  forward  and  submitted  their  claims  for  adjustment.  These  contrac- 
tors were  prevented  from  presenting  and  prosecuting  their  several  claims 
before  said  Board,  by  causes  which  were  not  removed  untill  after  its  ad- 
journment. The  contractor  on  sections  54  and  55,  having  submitted  his 
claim  for  damages,  immediately  thereafter,  made  application  to  withdraw 
the  same,  which  was  not  permitted  by  said  Board  of  appraisers,  upon 
which  the  said  contractor  commenced  suit  against  the  canal  Board,  which 
is  still  pending  in  the  Will  county  circuit  court;  an  award  of  damages 
was,  however,  made  by  said  appraisers  upon  the  claim  submitted.  Con- 
tractors on  the  above  sections  16  and  17 — the  river  channel  at  the  Sauga- 
naskee  swamp,  and  lock  15,  are,  as  1  am  informed,  now  willing  to  go  into 
an  adjustment  of  their  several  claims. 

From  the  decisions  of  said  Board  of  appraisers,  a  few  appeals  were 
taken  to  the  circuit  courts  of  the  counties  of  La  Salle,  Grundy,  Will  and 
Cook.  These  appeals  have  all  been  disposed  of  in  said  courts  except 
three,  without  any  increase  of  damages  against  the  State,  save  the  one 
embracing  the  culvert  across  Nettle  creek,  in  which  case  the  damages 
were  increased  to  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars.  The  remaining  three 
cases  will  in  all  probability  be  arranged  without  any  increase  of  damages 
against  the  State. 

Under  the  provisions  of  said  act,  it  became  the  duty  cf  the  Commis- 
sioner having  charge  of  the  affairs  of  the  canal,  to  sell  the  lands  and  town 
lots,  which  were  reserved  by  the  provisions  of  that  law,  and  which  had 
been  relinquished  or  forfeited  by  the  purchaser?.  In  pursuance  of  said 
law,  William  B.  Egan,  Lewis  Kerchival  and  Bennett  Allen,  were  ap'- 
pointed  by  Judge  Young,  to  appraise  said  lands  and  town  lots  in  the  coun- 
ties of  Cook,  Will  and  Grundy:  and  George  H.  Norris,  Seth  T.  Farwell 
and  B.  F.  Fridley  were  appointed  by  Judge  Robinson,  to  appraise  said 
lands  and  town  lots  in  the  county  of  La  Salle. 

After  the  appraisements  were  made,  tho  said  lands  and  town  lots  were 
advertised  according  to  law,  and  offered  at  public  sale,  commencing  at 
Chicago  on  the  3d  day  of  October,  1843,  and  ending  at  La  Salle  on  the 
18th  of  ihc  same  month.  The  terms  of  sale  prescribed  for  timber  lands, 
were  one-fourth  of  the  purchase  money  in  hand  paid,  and  the  remainder 
in  three  equal  annual  payments,  with  interest  at  the  rate  of  six  per  cent, 
per  annum  payable  in  advance;  and  for  prairie  land  and  town  lots,  one- 
tenth  of  the  purchase  money  to  be  paid  at  the  time  of  sale,  the  remainder 
payable  at  the  expiration  of  twenty  years,  bearing  an  interest  of  six  per 
cent.,  payable  annually. 

All  the  lands  and  town  lots,  subject  to  sale  under  the  provisions  of  said 
act  were  offered,  with  the  exception  of  two  fractional  quarter  sections  of 
land  situated  on  the  Kankakee  river.  In  changing  the  present  plan  of 
the  canal,  said  river  would  necessarily  be  mr.de  use  of  as  a  feeder,  and 
which  would  in  all  probability  from  the  surveys  run,  be  taken  out  of  the 
same  at  a  point  on  the  river  where  this  land  is  located.  The  erection  of 
a  dam  across  the,  river  would  become  necessary,  by  which  a  valuable 
water  power  would  be  created  at  that  point;  and  by  which  great  manu- 
facturing facilities  would  be  afforded.  In  view  of  the  importance  of  the 
State  being  able  to  control  the  water  power,  and  the  enhanced  value  of 


»  (21) 

the  lands  on  which  the  same  may  be  created;  it  was  deemed  proper  to 
withhold  said  lands  from  sale  at  that  time.  All  of  said  lands  and  town 
lots  offered,  were  sold,  except  a  few  lots  in  the  original  town  of  Ottawa 
on  the  south  side  of  the  Illinois  river,  and  three  Jots  in  the  town  of  La 
Salle. 

Paper  marked  (B)  hereto  annexed  exhibits  the  number  of  each  lot  and 
block — the  valuation,  and  the  amount  sold  for;  also  the  description  of  the 
lands — the  valuation  thereof,  and  the  amount  sold  for.  The  sales  thus 
made,  in  the  aggregate  amount  to  the  sum  of  $297,252  25. 

The  amount  of  bills  receivable  now  on  hand,  derived  from  the  sales  of 
every  description  of  canal  property,  amount  to  the  sum  of  $254,6'25  00. 

There  has  been  received  into  the  Treasury  from  the  sales  of  canal  lands, 
town  lots,  timber,  &c.,  since  the  commencement  of  the  canal  in  1836,  up 
to  the  first  of  November,  1844,  the  sum  of  $932,407  91. 

The  following  exhibits  the  amount  received  in  the  Treasury,  for  the 
three  last  quarters  of  1843,  and  all  of  1844.

The  Secretary's  report  herewith  submitted,  (marked  A.)  exhibits  the 
different  kinds  of  scrip  and  indebtedness  issued  by  the  Board — the  amount 
now  in  circulation —  the  various  expenditures  classed  under  their  appropri- 
ate heads,  including  contingent  disbursements — the  amount  of  interest 
paid  on  balances  due  the  contractors,  under  the  provisions  of  an  act.  of 
the  last  session  of  the  Legislature,  entitled  "An  act  to  provide  for  the  al- 
lowance and  payment  ol  interest,  and  money  due  the  contractors  on  the 
Illinois  and  Michigan  canal,"  approved  March  3,  1843 — the  number  of

pensation and  the  time  they  left  the  service,  and  all  other  business  done 
through  that  office. 

The  entire  amount  of  payments  upon  the  canal  from  its  commence- 
ment in  the  spring  of  183(3,  up  to  the  first  of  November,  1844,  is  $5,039,-

The  chief  Engineer  in  his  report  (marked  C,)  and  herewith  submitted, 
gives  a  very  full  and  satisfactory  exposition  of  his  department.  He  ex- 
hibits the  entire  amount  of  work  treasured  on  the  canal,  from  the  com- 
mencement of  operations  in  the  spring  of  1836,  «p  to  the  first  of  Decem- 
ber, 1844;  with  a  tabular  statement  accompanying  the  report,  showing 
the  amount  of  work  estimated  upon  each  section  and  structure,  with  the 
various  items  estimated,  and  the  price  paid  for  each;  also  an  estimate  of 
the  cost  of  the  several  proposed  changes  of  the  canal,  and  makes  a  num- 
ber of  suggestions,  which  are  submitted  as  worthy  of  consideration. 

The  estimates  of  the  cost  of  the  several  proposed  plans  of  the  canal  as 
submitted  in  his  report,  are  as  follows,  viz: 

1st,  or  original  plan,  -  -  -  -       $2,353,772  96 

2nd  do  ....          1,485,095  86

6th  do  -  -          1,679,846  07 

The  Commissioner  deems   it  unnecessary  on  this  occasion  to  express 

an  opinion,   in  reference  to  the  above  proposed  plans,  inasmuch  as  they 

are  all  considered  practicable;  the  whole  matter  is,  therefore,  submitted 

for  the  purpose  of  enabling  the  Legislature  to  adopt  that  plan,  it  may  in 

its  wisdom  deem  best  for  the  interests  of  the  State. 

in  conclusion  I  would  say,  that  on  the  arrival  of  Gov.  Davis  and  Capt. 
Swift,  on  the  line  of  canal  in  the  fall  of  1843,  the  agents  of  the  foreign 
bond-holders;  they  called  upon  me,  through  the  Hon.  Michael  Ryan,  for 


9  (25) 

information  touching  the  cost  of  construction  and  expendicures,  and  of 
the  canal  debt.  The  amount  and  description  of  the  unsold  lands  with 
their  value,  according  to  the  different  classifications.  The  estimates  for 
completing  the  canal  upon  the  various  plans  submitted  in  the  Engineer's 
report — together  with  a  demand  upon  me  to  survey  a  rout  of  thirty-three 
miles,  from  Aurora  on  Fox  river,  to  the  summit  level  of  the  canal,  in  order 
to  test  the  practicability  of  making  said  river  a  feeder; — which  survey 
required  the  services  of  a  full  corps  of  engineers.  A  detailed  report  of 
which  was  furnished  said  agents — together  with  copies  of  all  the  papers 
and  accounts  which  they  deemed  necessary  to  lay  before  the  foreign 
bond-holders,  for  their  information. 

The  labor  and  expense  created  by  this  call  upon  me,  can  only  be  fully 
comprehended  by  reference  to  the  voluminous  copies  which  I  retained, 
and  which  I  have  now  in  my  possession  subject  to  inspection,  if  a  call 
shall  be  made  upon  me.  In  addition  to  all  this,  I  furnished  said  agents 
with  a  map  embracing  the  entire  length  of  the  canal,  exhibiting  the 
lands  sold  and  unsold,  for  five  miles  on  each  side  of  said  canal,  divided 
into  sections  and  quarter  sections,  half  quarter  sections  and  quarter  quar- 
ter sections,  showing  upon  each  tract  sold,  the  amount  the  same  sold  for. 
And  also  a  map  of  each  of  the  towns  laid  out  upon  canal  lands,  desig-

The  time  consumed,  and  the  number  of  persons  employed,  necessary 
to  enable  me  to  give  all  this  required  information,  has  necessarily  con- 
tributed to  the  contingent  expenses  for  the  last  two  years, 

Should  not  the  foregoing  report  and  accompanying  documents  contain 
all  the  information  desired,  any  further  statements  will  be  cheerfully  giv-

A. 
SECRETARY'S  REPORT 


To  Ihe  Acting  Commissioner 

of  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal: 

The  following  statement  will  present  a  general  view  of  the  business 
transactions  of  my  department  of  the  canal  office  during  the  two  past 
years, 

During  the  year  1839,  for  the  want  of  funds  to  pay  for  work  as  fast  as 
it  was  done,  checks  upon  the  Bank,  payable  ninety  days  afterdate,  were 
issued,  at  two  different  times.  My  last  report,  in  the  fall  of  1842,  showed 
that  these  checks  had  all  been  redeemed,  except  the  sum  of  $3*23,  and 
that  $ 123,  belonging  to  the  contingent  fund,  was  left  in  the  Bank  for  their 
redemption.  Since  that  report,  $7  only  have  been  presented  for  pay- 
ment. These  were  redeemed,  and  the  balance  of  funds  for  their  redemp- 
tion withdrawn  from  the  Bank.  This  leaves  still  charged  to  circulation, 
(of  this  kind  of  currency,)  the  sum  of  $316 — which  being  in  small  checks 
it  is  presumed  have  been  mostly  or  all  lost  or  destroyed. 

Of  the  small  at-sight checks,  to-wit:  $1,  $2  50  and  $5,  issued  in  the 
fall  of  1840,  and  spring  of  1841,  and  for  the  redemption  of  which  pro- 
vision was  made  by  a  deposit  in  Bank,  it  was  stated  in  the  last  report 
that  there  remained  in  circulation  the  sum  of  $17,523;  except  what 
might  have  been  redeemed  at  the  principal  Bank.  Since  that  time,  there 
has  been  received  at  this  office,  from  the  principal  Bank,  the  sum  of 
$10,344  50.  Leaving  still  in  circulation  $7,178  50 — except  what  has 
been  redeemed  by  the  Bank,  since  April  28,  1843,  the  date  of  the  last 
remittance. 

The  amount  of  checks,  to-wit:  $409,448  70,  issued  March  1st,  1840. 
under  an  act  of  the  Legislature,  bearing  interest  at  six  per  cent.,  has  been 
reduced  by  redemption  at  the  Bank,  and  receiving  them  in  this  office  in 
payment  for  lands,  &c.,  to  the  sum  of  $319,885  04;  which  balance  is 
still  charged  to  circulation. 

Contractors  accepted  orders,  mentioned  in  the  last  report,  remain  un- 
paid to  the  amount  of  $27,921  64.  These  were  a  means  of  payment  to 
contractors,  adopted  in  the  spring  of  1841,  and  by  which  payments  were 
made  for  work  done  before  that  time,  and  during  the  whole  of  that  year, 
and  are  here  known  by  the  name  of  "State  indebtedness." 

That  kind  of  acknowledgment  of  debt,  called,  in  my  last  report,  "ca- 
nal indebtedness,"  has  continued  to  be  the  principal  currency  of  this 
office  during  the  two  last  years;  both  in  paying  contractors  and  receiving 
payment  for  lands,  lots,  &c.  From  the  commencement  of  the  use  of  this 


11  (27) 

kind  of  currency,  to  this  time,  there  have  been  issued  the  amounts,  and 
of  the  denominations  following  to  wit: 

8,090         §1  00  equal  to         $8,090  00 

2,400          2  50        "     "  6,000  00

5,950       100  00        «    «        595,000  00 

$675,000  00 

Of  this  sum,  -  -         M«U-.         -  -          -      58,12930, 

remains  in  the  hands  of  the  Acting  Commissioner;  the 
balance  of  a  fund  for  payment  to  contractors,  making 
the  amount  charged  to  circulation,  « "*  •'•'•  -  •  $616,87070 

Of  this  last  amount  there  has  been  redeemed  by  payments 
into  the  Treasurer's  office,  for  lands,  lots,  &c.,  the  sum  of,     315,192  00 

Leaving  a  balance  charged  to  circulation  of,         -  -    $301.67870 

There  is  a  third  species  of  indebtedness,  which  is  current  in  transact- 
ingthe  business  of  this  office,  to-wit:  "Governor's  scrip,"  (socalled);  that 
issued  by  that  officer  under  authority  of  the  law  of  the  last  session  of  the 
Legislature,  to  pay  contractors' damages  upon  the  relinquishmcnt  of  their 
contracts.  This  has  been  received  in  payment  for  lands,  lots,  &c.,  (in- 
cluding the  sum  of  $78  40  allowed  thereon  for  interest,)  to  the  amount 
of  $3,724  64.  As  the  circulation  and  redemption  accounts,  of  all  the 
various  kinds  of  canal  currency,  checks,  scrip,  and  indebtedness,  are 
kept  in  the  Secretary's  office,  the  Governor's  scrip  also  has  been  cancel- 
led, passed  over  by  the  Acting  Commissioner,  (acting  as  Treasurer,)  to  the 
same  office;  where  the  face  of  said  scrip,  (exclusive  of  interest.)  is  charged 
to  redemption  account,  (of  that  particular  kind  of  currency,)  and  packed 
and  sealed  up  as  other  redeemed  paper,  the  same  being  $3,724  64. 

There  has  been  no  new  contracts  made,  or  work  done  upon  the  canal, 
during  the  two  past  years;  but  considerable  payments  made  for  work 
heretofore  done,  and  payment  delayed  for  want  of  means. 

Of  the  tabular  statements  accompanying  this,  paper  No.  1,  exhibits 
the  amounts  paid  for  each  year,  and  the  parts  of  the  line  upon  which  the 
same  has  been  done. 

For  construction,  -  -  t         -   $ 244,524  36 

For  contingencies,          -  -         iJl.jo         -  -        52,359  38 

Total,    *:i  -  ....   $296,883  74 

In  former  reports  it  has  been  stated,  as  to  the  manner  of  keeping  the 
accounts  in  this  office,  that  all  sums  paid  for  work  upon  the  canal,  and 
those  alone,  are  charged  to  the  respective  sections  or  jobs,  and  at  regular 
periods  these  accounts  are  carried  to  construction,  as  a  general  account 
for  all  payments  for  work;  and  that  all  other  payments  are  carried  to. the 
head  of  contingencies.  But  during  the  twolast  years  a  claim  for  interest 
upon  balances  due  contractors  has  arisen  under  an  act  of  the  last  session 
of  the  Legislature.  This,  though  not  strictly  for  work,  is  properly 


(28)  12 

chargeable,  and  has  been  charged  to  the  respective  jobs,  and  is  conse- 
quently carried  to  the  general  account  of  construction,  and,  in  paper  No. 
1,  is  included  In  the  amount  of  payments  to  contractors.  The  said  in- 
terest was  paid  on  the  several  divisions  as  follows: 

On  ihe  Summit  Division,  -  -  ,-0(         -     §'14,15921 

"       Middle        «  -  .     .       . ,;  3,753  10 

"      Western      "  *  -<*  1,727  56 


Total,  -  .-  -  ,<  »(*  $19,639  87 


I  would  here  remark  that  whenever  it  is  made  known  to  this  office, 
what  sums  have  been  paid  to  contractors  for  damages  upon  relinquishing 
their  contracts,  the  several  amounts  will  be  charged  to  the  respective 
jobs,  in  order  that  their  entire  cost,  as  well  as  that  of  the  whole  work, 
may  be  readily  shown. 

It  ha?  heretofore  been  remarked  that  large  sums  which  are  carried  to 
the  account  of  contingencies,  do  not  properly  belong  thereto,  as  the  term 
is  generally  understood.  The  same  may  be  repeated  of  the  contingent 
account  of  the  two  last  years,  as  exhibited  in  paper  No.  1.  These  irregu- 
lar, or  extraordinary  contingent  accounts  of  these  years  amount  to  the 
sum  of,  -  -  -  .  -  '  $19,293  39 

In  this  amount  is  included  checks  issued  for  the  payment 
of  contractors,  and,  after  the  fund  for  their  redemption 
was  exhausted,  redeemed  out  of  the  contingent  fund, 
and  cancelled  and  charged  t>  incidentals,  because  they 
could  be  charged  no  where  else,  ($'672  56.) 
There  has  also  been  paid  and  included  in  the  said  contin- 
gent account  for  officers  and  agents'  services,  previous  to 
these  years,  the  sum  of  -  -  -  $9,231  00 

Also, accounts  made  before  that  time,  then  standing  open, 

and  since  transferred  to  incidentals,       -  -  ^       $1.678  50 

In  ali,    -  - $30,202  89 


This  sum  deducted  from  the  contingent  account  leaves 

the  sum  of      -  -  -  $22,15649 

In  this  last  sum  is  included  an  expenditure  of  about  fifteen  hundred 
dollars,  occasioned  by  an  examination  made  the  last  winter  by  Messrs. 
Davis  and  Swift. 

Paper  No.  2,  an  account  of  the  Secretary  with  the  contingent  fund, 
shows  that  the  two  years  commenced  with  the  sum  of  $111,464  03,  in 
the  Secretary's  hands  belonging  to  the  fund,  and  ended  with  the  sum  of 
$66,646  03. 

These  large  sums  in  this  fund  are  mostly  occasioned  by  retaining  from 
contnictors'  estimates,  sums  sufficient  to  redeem  their  orders,  mentioned 
in  the  former  part  of  this  report. 

There  are  a  large  number  of  accounts  upon  the  Secretary's  books,  with 
balances  as  debits,  or  credits,  to  the  said  fund;  nearly  all  of  which  are 


13 


(29) 


kept  open  on  account  of  the  transactions  with  the  contractors  by  means 
of  the  said  orders.     The  amount  of  the  said  balances  stand  as  follows: 

Debits,  -  -    $13,378  84 

Credits,        ......       22,504  84 


Paper  No.  3,  a  list  of  the  several  jobs  upon  which  any  thing  remains 
due,  shows  an  amount  still  due  contractors  for  work  done  upon  the  canal 
of  $75,963  54,  and  interest,  under  the  law  of  last  session,  up  to  Dec.  1, 
1844,  of  $10,11)8  86. 

Some  of  the  dues  therein  set  forth,  to- wit:  on  sections  59, 60.  and  75,  have 
in  fact  been  mostly  paid,  b}'  the  acceptance  and  payment  of  their  orders; 
and  constitute  the  greatest  part  of  the  debits  above  mentioned,  as  stand- 
ing upon  the  Secretary's  accounts  of  the  contingent  fund. 

Of  the  allowances  of  damages  occasioned  Ly  the  construction  of  the 
canal  across  private  property,  there  remains  unpaid  the  sum  of  $17,500  40. 
Interest  thereon,  up  to  Dec.  1,  1844,  $6,027  56. 

From  the  foregoing  the  following  condensed  account  is  made.

the  payment  of  contractors,       -  -      $58,130  30

Since  that  time  there  have  been  a  few  articles  of  canal

It  will  be  observed,  that  amojjg  contingencies  there  is  an  item  of 
$1,199  35  charged  to  the  Sauganaskec  road.  This  is  the  amount  of  a 
judgment,  (with  the  interest,)  recovered  against  the  Commissioners  under 
a  contract  made  in  the  fall  of  the  year  1836.

Paper  No.  4,  is  a  list  of  the  officers  and  agents  in  the  employment  of 
the  Board,  any  part  of  the  two  last  years;  the  nature  of  their  services 
and  their  compensation. 

There  has  beecn  no  sale  of  canal  property  during  these  years,  except 
the  one  of  forfeited  lands  and  town  lots,  under  the  law  of  the  last  Legis- 
lature.    This  took  place  in  October,  1843,  and  the  result  will   particular- 
ly appear  from  a  list  of  the  lands  and  lots  sold  from  the  Treasurer's  office. 
The  whole  payment  upon  the  canal,  from  the  commencement  of  oper- 
ations thereon,  in  the  spring  of  1836,  to  the  present  time,  is  §5,039,248  04

In  the  last  report  mention  was  made  of  a  large  amount  of  extraordina- 
ry contingent  accounts,  and  a  list  given  of  their  several  sums,  and  the 
heads  under  which  they  had  been  charged;  and  a  similar  remark  has  al- 
ready been  made  of  the  contingencies  of  the  two  last  years.  A  list  of 
such  accounts,  including  the  statements  for  both  reportsstands  thus:

Which  sum,  deducted  from  the  total  amount  of  contingencies  charged 
a?  above  stated,  leaves  the  amount  of  contingencies  proper  $242,652  93. 

The  exact  uniformity,  which  for  some  years  prevailed  between  the 
estimates  in  the  Engineer's  office,  and  the  payments,  with  the  per  cent, 
retained  in  the  Secretary's  office,  no  longer  exists.  This  has  been  occa- 


15  (31) 

sioned  by  the  delay  of  payment  of  estimates.  The  payment  of  interest 
on  balances  due  contractors  under  the  law  of  the  last  session  of  the  Leg- 
islature, and  in  a  few  cases  of  payments  by  arrangement  between  the 
Commissioners  and  contractors,  without  the  usual  estimate  in  the  Engi- 
neer's office.

REPORT  OF  CHIEF  ENGINEER. 


CANAL  OFFICE, 
Lockporl,  December  1,  1844. 

To  Gen.  J.  FRY, 

Commissioner  of  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  Canal: 

SIR:  My  official  connection  with  the  canal  having  ceased,  I  beg  leave 
to  present  the  present  condition  of  the  work  in  the  following 

REPORT: 

A  very  small  amount  of  labor  has  been  performed  upon  the  canal  since 
the  date  of  my  last  annual  report,  (dated  December  1st,  1842,  and  the 
seventh  since  the  commencement  of  operations,)  and  the  condition  of  the 
work  consequently  remains  nearly  the  same  as  at  that  period.  The  only 
operations  have  been  upon  the  "newlettings,"  or  that  part  of  the  line  be- 
tween Dresden  and  Marseilles,  and  even  here  nothing  has  been  done 
since  early  in  the  spring  of  1843.  The  few  contractors  who,  up  to  that 
time  were  still  employed,  were  then  notified  to  suspend  their  work,  and 
all  operations  were  accordingly  suspended. 

The  increase  in  the  aggregate  estimates  of  the  amount  of  work  done 
upon  the  canal,  over  the  amount  given  in  my  last  report,  not  only  in- 
cludes the  work  performed  since  that  time,  but  also  the  balances,  which, 
on  a  final  and  more  particular  estimate  have  been  found  to  be  due  con- 
tractors for  work  previously  performed,  as  weH  as  several  items  not  before 
embraced,  now  taken  from  the  books'  of  the  Secretary.  In  some  in- 
stances, however,  the  jobs  have  been  found  over-estimated,  and  the  ne- 
cessary deductions  made  upon  a  final  settlement. 

The  aggregate  amount  of  work  performed  since  the  commencement  of 
the  canal  is  $4,737,250  81,  which  is  an  increase  of  $37,758  78  over 
the  amount  of  estimates  returned  in  my  last  report. 

This  work  has  been  performed  or  estimated  as  follows,  to-wit: 

During  the  year  ending  Dec.   1st,  1836,         -  -         $39,260  58

Total,  ......     $4,737,250  81 


This  amount  ($4,737.250  81,)  shows  the  value  of  the  work  performed, 
estimated  according  to  the  terms  of  the  contracts  or  agreements  entered 
into  between  the  contractors  and  Commissioners,  the  price  paid  for  each 


(44)  23 

item  having  been  governed  by  its  value  with  reference  to  the  whole  con~ 
tract,  and  not  in  all  cases  by  the  specific  price  of  the  item. 

In  pursuance  of  this  principle,  *he  excavation  in  d^ep  cutting  was  esti- 
mated at  the  full  price  only  when  completed  to  bottom,  and  in  a  rateable 
proportion  for  the  excavation  nearer  the  surface.  Or,  for  example,  where 
the  price  was  thirty-five  cents  per  cubic  yard  for  the  whole  excavation 
from  surface  to  bottom,  and  twenty-five  cents  per  yard  was  estimated  for 
that  which  was  within  four  or  five  feet  of  the  surface,  it  was  intended 
that  the  twenty-five  cents  for  the  surface  work,  should  afford  as  large  a 
profit  in  proportion  to  the  amount,  ss  the  full  price,  or  thirty-five  cents 
would  have  done  had  the  whole  excavation  to  bottom  been  fully  completed. 

That  the  contractors  did  not  feel  themselves  injured  by  this  mode  of 
estimating,  is  obvious,  from  the  fact  that  they  would  otherwise  have  com- 
pleted their  work  to  bottom  as  t'dey  progressed,  and  thus  have  obtained 
the  full  contract  price  per  yard.  -  But  on  the  contrary,  a  large  part  of  the 
unfinished  sections  upon  the  Summit  division,  and  especially  upon  the 
earth  work,  have  not  been  excavated  to  the  full  depth,  and  consequently 
a  large  amount  of  scaleage,  (by  which  is  meant  the  difference  between  the 
contract  and  estimated  prices,)  had  been  retained  to  secure  the  comple- 
tion of  the  contracts. 

It  will  be  seen  by  the  foregoing  explanation  that  the  scaleage  was  not 
money  which  had  been  earned  by  the  contractors.  They  had  performed 
no  labor  which  was  an  equivalent  for  it,  arid,  as  it  was  not  legally  or 
equitably  due,  it  will  readily  be  perceived  that  it  could  not  be  paid  to 
the  contractors  without  an  express  law  for  that  purpose. 

The  Legislature  of  this  State  at  its  last  session  passed  a  law  for  a  final 
settlement  with  all  contractors  upon  the  Illinois  and  Michigan  canal.  By 
this  law  they  were  to  receive  payment  for  their  machinery,  actual  dama- 
ges for  depriving  them  of  their  contracts,  per  centage  zindscaleage.  They 
were  not,  however,  to  receive  any  thing  for  "prospective  damages,  or 
profits  which  they  might  have  made  by  completing  their  work." 

This  scaleage  was  probably  allowed  as  an  offsett  for  prospective  profits, 
and  contractors  may  not,  perhaps,  in  the  aggregate  receive  any  more,  if 
as  much  as  the  damages  to  which  they  are  justly  entitled  for  depriving 
them  of  their  contracts.  But  the  law  operates  very  unequally. 

The  contractor  who  has  excavated  50,000  cubic  yards  from  the  surface 
of  his  work  at  a  cost  not  exceeding  twenty  cents  per  yard,  or  $10,UOO 
for  the  whole,  is,  by  this  law,  to  receive  as  much  money  as  the  contrac- 
tor who  has  excavated  50,000  cubic  yards,  completing  the  work  from  top 
to  bottom  as  he  progressed,  at  a  cost  of  30  cents  per  yard,  or  $15,000. 
Thus  the  contractor  who  operates  superficially  receives  a  bonus  of 


Many  of  those  who  are  unacquainted  with  the  system  upon  which  the 
business  of  the  canal  has  been  conducted,  seem  to  have  confounded  scale- 
age  with  per  centage.  The  former  term  has  been  explained — the  latter 
means  a  certain  per  centum  retained  by  the  commissioners,  (in  accord- 
ance with  existing  contracts,)  from  the  estimates  of  the  Engineer.  Those 
estimates,  as  before  expla:ned,  are  designed  to  represent  the  value  per 
contract  of  the  work  performed. 

The  subject  of  scaleage  and  per  centage  is  here  alluded  to,  and  briefly 
explained,  in  order  to  correct  the  false  impressions  which  still  prevail  in 


29  (45) 

relation  to  it.  The  per  centage,  as  has  been  seen,  constitutes  a  part  of 
the  estimates,  and  since  the  passage  of  the  law  authorizing  the  same,  has 
been  paid  by  the  Commissioner  to  the  contractors.  The  scaleagc  con- 
stitutes an  important  part  of  the  awards  of  the  Board  of  appraisers. 

In  making  up  the  total  cost  of  construction  some  items  of  expense  are 
included  which  are  obtained  from  the-books  of  the  Secretary  to  the  Board 
of  Commissioners  that  have  not  been  before  embraced  in  my  reports. 
The  items,  (consisting  of  the  repairs  aod  additional  work  upon  the  Fox 
river  feeder  dam,  guard  lock,  and  feeder,  and  of  the  cement  houses.)  con- 
siitute  a  necessary  part  of  the  expense  of  the  canal;  but  as  the  work  was 
of  such  a  nature  as  to  render  it  difficult  for  the  Engineer  to  determine  its 
value,  the  bills  of  ccst  were  paid  by  the  Commissioners  without  the  regu- 
larly certified  estimates  of  the  Engineer,  and  the  amounts  consequently 
do  not  appear  upon  the  books  of  my  office. 

The  cost  of  superintendence,  and  the  contingent  expenses  properly 
chargeable  to  the  account  of  construction,  is  also  taken  from  the  books 
of  the  Secretary.

In  my  last  annual  report,  I  submitted  several  approximate  estimates  of 
the  cost  of  completing  the  canal  upon  different  plans.  No  further  data 
having  been  obtained,  (except  in  relation  to  a  feeder  from  Fox  river  to 
the  Summit,)  and  the  Legislature  having  authorized  the  subscribers  to  the 
new  loan  to  adopt  any  plan  for  the  completion  of  the  work  that  ihey 
may  deem  proper,  which  will  not  diminish  its  capacity  for  transportion, 
it  would  be  improper  for  me  at  this  time  to  present  any  further  views  up- 
on this  subject.  But  it  is  proper  again  to  state,  as  I  have  done  before, 
that  whatever  plan  may  be  adopted,  the  longer  the  time  before  the  work 
is  commenced  and  completed,  the  greater  will  be  the  cost.  Some  of  the 
materials  prepared  for  structures,  and  paid  for  by  the  State,  such  as  tim- 
ber, plank,  stone,  cement,  and  sand,  have  already  disappeared,  and  as  has 
been  ascertained  in  some  instances,  appropriated  to  individual  purposes. 
In  most  cases,  however,  it  is  difficult  or  impossible  to  detect  those  who 
have  been  concerned  in  these  appropriations,  and  the  materials  thus  taken 
will  be  nearly  a  total  loss.  Much  injury  also  to  the  materials  which  are 
still  on  the  ground  has  been  sustained,  and  further  loss  must,  of  course, 
be  anticipated  unless  they  are  speedily  used. 

It  is  now  five  or  six  years  since  some  of  the  sections  of  the  canal  were 
completed,  and  these,  as  well  as  many  jobs  which  have  been  more  rs- 
cehtly  finished,  will  require  considerable  rep  lirs  before  the  canal  is  filled 
and  open  for  navigation.  There  have  been  ninety-seven  sections  comple- 
ted upon  the  main  line  and  Fox  river  feeder,  making  an  aggregate  length 
of  over  fifty  miles.  These  sections  include  the  greater  part  of  the  most 
expensive  work  to  keep  in  repair  which  will  be  found  on  the  line.  Near- 
ly all  the  heavy,  and  exposed  embankments  have  been  constructed,  and 
upon  these  generally  will  the  principal  repairs  be  required.  The  settling, 
however,  and  washing  of  the  banks  and  filling  in  of  the  bottom,  have 


(46)  30 

been  no  greater  than  might  reasonably  have  been  anticipated,  but  unless 
something  is  done  to  place  the  work  in  a  more  favorable  condition  soon, 
the  expense  of  repairs  will  be  greatly  augmented. 

The  structures  which  have  been  completed,  (with  the  exception  of  the 
Pecumsagan  dam  which  has  been  nearly  destroyed  by  a  flood,)  have  not, 
as  yet,  sustained  any  very  material  injury  since  they  were  finished.  In 
a  few  cases,  (but  the  amount  in  the  aggregate  is  not  great,)  there  has 
been  some  embankment  washed  away.  Some  of  the  stone  used  have 
been  partially  effected  by  the  action  of  frost,  but  such  as  have  been  thus 
effected  seem  to  have  been  unsound  when  placed  in  the  work.  All  the 
quarries  from  which  stone  to  any  extent  has  been  taken  for  the  construc- 
tion of  structures  upon  the  canal,  were  opened  for  this  purpose,  and  in 
some  few  instances  a  material  was  used  in  the  earliest  stages  of  the  work, 
which  would  not  afterwards  have  been  introduced,  as  it  was  ascertained 
that  a  better  might  have  been  obtained. 

But  when  it  is  considered  that  no  satisfactory  tests  had  been  made  of 
the  materials  employed  before  it  became  necessary  to  use  them  in  build- 
ing the  work,  it  may  be  considered  fortunate  indeed  that  no  greater  loss 
has  been  the  result.  In  fact,  it  is  believed,  that  in  this  respect  the  work 
here  will  compare  favorably  with  any  other  in  the  country. 

The  foundations  of  nearly  all  the  structures  are  excellent  except  that 
of  Lock  No.  14,  which  is  decidedly  bad,  and  has  settled  in  such  a  manner 
as  to  injure  the  walls  at  the  head  of  the  Lock.  A  part  of  the  breast 
wall  will  have  to  be  taken  up  and  relaid,  and  the  hollow-quoins,  particu- 
larly for  the  upper  gates,  will  require  considerable  trimming  to  restore 
them  again  to  a  perpendicular. 

This  lock  does  not  seem  to  have  settled  much,  if  any,  for  the  last  two 
or  three  years,  nor  is  it  supposed  that  it  will  settle  much  more. 

The  cement  which  was  used  in  the  construction  of  masonry  has,  in 
most  instances,  proved  as  good  as  was  anticipated,  and  in  some  is  now 
nearly  as  hard  as  the  stone  of  which  the  structures  are  composed.  In 
some*  few  instances,  however,  from  the  inferiority  of  the  sand,  and  proba- 
bly from  the  improper  proportions  of  sand  and  cement  used,  it  has  not 
set  as  well  as  was  desirable. 

There  isstillalarge  quantity  of  cement  in  the  houses  provided  by  the 
State  for  its  storage,  which  was  manufactured  some  time  previous  to  the 
entire  suspension  of  operations  upon  the  canal.  A  large  part  of  it  is  still 
uninjured,  but  some,  and  particularly  that  which  has  been  kept  in  the 
smaller  cement  houses  near  the  structures  where  it  was  to  be  used,  is  dam- 
aged and  will  be  unfit  for  use. 

It  was  mentioned  in  my  last  report  that  but  little  wood  work,  had 
up  to  that  time,  been  used  in  any  part  of  canal  construction,  and  none 
has  been  used  since.  The  most  of  the  timber  and  plank  in  foundations  is 
secured  from  decay  by  being  constantly  covered  with  water,  and  a  part 
of  the  wooden  culverts  are  preserved  in  the  same  manner,  but  the  timber 
and  plank  delivered  and  not  placed  in  the  work  will  much  of  it  be  lost. 
A  particular  description  of  the  canal  and  the  various  structures  upon 
it,  could  be  drawn  from  the  reports  which  have  hitherto  been  made,  but 
it  may  not  be  improper  at  this  time  to  briefly  recapitulate  some  of  the 
former  statements. 


31  (4?) 

The  length  of  the  canal  from  Chicago  river  toils  western  termination, 
is  96.40  miles;  and  of  that  portion  of  the  river  which  is  provided  with  a 
tow-path,  and  which  terminates  on  the  south  side  of  Randolph  street  in 
the  city  of  Chicago,  4.1!  miles.  The  distance  from  the  south  line  of 
Randolph  street  to  the  pier  is  84.100  of  a  mile;  making  the  whole  dis- 
tance from  the  commencement  of  the  south  pier  of  the  harbor  in  Chica- 
go to  the  termination  of  the  canal  at  the  Illinois  river,  101.35  miles. 

The  depth  of  water  in  the  canal  is  to  be  not  less  than  six  feet,  and  the 
surface  width  sixty  feet.  The  bottom  width  varies  in  the  different  kinds 
of  excavation,  but  is  no  where  less  than  thirty-six  feet.* 

The  number  of  lift  locks  upon  the  canal  is  fifteen,  and  the  whole 
amount  of  lockage  139.70  feet.  There  is  also  one  guard  lock  at  Juliet, 
and  a  lift  lock  upon  the  Ottawa  side  cut  near  the  main  line. 

These  locks  arc  all"  of  the  same  length  and  width,  being  110  feet  long 
between  the  gates,  and  eighteen  feet  wide;  and  all  constructed  or  to  be 
constructed  of  cut  stone  masonry. 

The  number  of  acqueducts  upon  the  canal  according  to  the  present 
arrangement  is  three,  besides  the  Pecumsagan,  which  is  a  combination  of 
an  acqueduct  and  dam.  The  abutments  and  piers  (except  fcr  the  Pe- 
cumsagan,) are  ef  cut  stone  masonry.  The  trunks  or  superstructuies  are 
to  be  of  wood. 

The  number  of  dams  on  the  canal  is  five  including  that  in  connection 
with  the  Pecumsagan  acqueduct. 

Dams  No.  1  and  2  at  Juliet,  which  are  the  most  important  ones,  are  of 
cut  stone.  The  first  will  be  two  hundred  and  fifty-six  feet  long  and  be 
raised  sixteen  feet  above  the  bed  of  the  river;  and  the  second  (which  is 
completed,)  is  one  hundred  and  ninety  feet  long  and  fourteen  feet  high 
above  the  foundation,  which, for  a  part  of  its  length,  is. below  the  bed  of 
the  river. 

There  will  be  a  dam  across  Rock  creek  on  section  No.  88,  composed 
of  timber  and  rough  stone,  and  one  across  the  Du  Page  river  on  section 
No.  98  built  of  similar  materials. 

The  dam  across  the  Pecumsagan  is  to  be  built  entirely  of  rough  stone. 

The  number  of  stone  culverts  upon  the  canal  is  but  ten, — a  very  small 
number  for  the  length  of  line. 

Each  culvert  is  one  hundred  and  three  feet  long  exclusive  of  wings. 
All  the  face  stone  in  spandrel,  parapet  and  wing-walls  are  cut,  except  for 
the  culvert  on  section  No.  108,  where  the  ring  stone  and  coping  only  are 
cut, — the  rest  of  the  face  being  built  of  well  hammered  masonry.  For 
the  larger  class  of  culverts  the  sheeting  is  all  cut. 

The  whole  number  of  wooden  culverts  is  thirteen,  and  they  are  built 
where  they  will  be  entirely  submerged. 

The  number  of  waste  weirs  estimated  is  seven,  none  of  which  are  en- 
tirely completed. 

The  number  of  road  and  farm  bridges  to  be  built  over  the  canal  is 
twenty-four.  These  will  all  but  two  be  used  as  road  bridges.  Their 
combined  length  will  be  1,955  feet. 

The  abutments  of  the  bridges  have  been  estimated  of  hammer-dressed 
stone  masonry. 

•See  explanation  in  relation  to  the  width  from  Chicago  river  to  section  fifteen  should  the 
depth  be  increased. 


(48)  32 

"  Besides  these  farm  and  road  bridges  over  the  canal,  one  road  bridge  has 
been  estimated  across  the  artificial  channel  for  the  Des  Plains  river  oppo- 
site the  mouth  of  the  Sauganaskee  swamp;  one  across  the  same  river  at 
dam  No.  1,  in  Juliet;  and  one  across  the  Du  Page  river  where  the  canal 
crosses  it  upon  section  No.  98.  The  aggregate  length  of  these  three 
bridges  is  six  hundred  and  seventy  feet.  There  will  also  be  several  tow- 
path  bridges,  the  aggregate  length  of  which  will  be  seven  hundred  and  ten 
feet.  None  of  the  bridges  have  yet  been  commenced. 

This  statement  in  relation  to  structures  upon  the  canal  is  made  at  this 
time  to  show,  to  some  extent,  the  data  upon  which  estimates  of  cost  have 
been  made — for  there  may  hereafter  be  changes  made,  not  only  in  the 
character  of  the  work  to  be  built,  but  in  the  number  of  some  kinds  of 
structures,  as  bridges,  waste  weirs,  and  culverts. 

In  the  estimates  of  cost  which  have  already  been  made,  all  the  struc- 
tures have  been  introduced  which  the  officers  on  the  work  deemed  ne- 
cessary, and  it  has  not  been  intended  to  make  any  part  of  the  work  any 
more  expensive  than  the  true  interests  of  the  State  required. 

The  number  of  bridges  which  was  included  in  the  last  estimates  of 
costs  submitted,  was  much  greater  than  in  the  earlier  estimates  made,  and 
all,  it  is  believed,  that  would  at  present  be  required.  But  as  the  country 
becomes  more  settled  and  cultivated,  it  may  be  found  necessary  or  expe- 
dient to  increase  the  number.  Further  observation  by  other  officers, 
may  also  lead  to  the  conclusion  that  some  modification  of  the  plans  in 
relation  to  other  structures  proposed  may  be  made  with  advantage,  and 
such  change  may  either  increase  or  diminish  the  cost. 

In  my  last  annual  report,  (Dec.  1842,)!  considered  at  length  the  im- 
poitant  subject  of  the  demand  for  water  to  supply  navigation  on  the  Illi- 
nois and  Michigan  canal,  and  the  supply  which  might  be  drawn  from 
other  sources  than  the  lake  should  the  hi^h  level  be  adopted  for  the 
completion  of  the  canal,  instead  of  the  "Deep  Cut.*'  Since  then  an 
examination  has  been  made  for  a  feeder  from  Auiora,  on  Fox  river,  to  the 
Summit  division  of  the  canal,  and  the  result  proved  highly  favorable. 
This  renders  it  certain  beyond  a  doubt  that  an  adequate  supply  of  water 
can  be  provided  for  the  canal  without  drawing  it  from  lake  Michigan. 

The  feeder  alluded  to,  if  constructed,  will  be  introduced  into  the  main 
canal  about  four  miles  above  Lockport  at  the  same  point  as  the  Du  Page 
feeder,  with  which  it  will  be  identical  from  the  Du  Page  river  to  the 
junction  with  the  mainline  of  canal. 

A  hasty  survey  of  this  feeder  was  made  at  the  request  of  Governor 
Davis  and  Capt.  Swift,  the  agents  of  the  bond  holders,  to  give  them  more 
certain  data  for  their  report,  than  could  otherwise  be  obtained. 

They  requested  of  me  estimates  of  the  cost  of  completing  the  canal 
upon  the  various  plans  which  had  been  suggested,  and  these  estimates,  of 
course,  embraced  the  cost  of  all  the  contemplated  feeders.  But  it  must 
be  understood  that  none  of  these  routes  for  feeders  had  been  examined 
with  sufficient  care  to  determine  their  final  location,  or  to  afford  data  for 
a  very  careful  estimate  of  the  expense. 

The  estimates  made  and  submitted  were  as  close  an  approximation  to 
the  cost  as  could  be  furnished  from  the  data  in  my  possession,  and  were 
sufficiently  accurate  to  afford  a  fair  comparison  of  the  different  plans. 
Variations  in  the  routes  of  the  feeders,  and  from  the  plans  upon  which 


33  (49) 

estimates  have  been  made,  may  either  increase  or  diminish  the  cost;  but 
it  is  not  probable  that  the  expense  will  be  much  increased  by  any  chan- 
ges which  will  be  likely  to  be  made.  If  the  expense  be  at  all  increased, 
it  will  probably  be  in  consequence  of  more  difficult  excavation  than  is 
now  anticipated. 

In  the  main  line,  it  is  presumed,  that  no  material  changes  will  be  made, 
and  the  nature  of  the  work  throughout  is  pretty  well  ascertained.  No 
considerable  alteration  can,  in  fact,  be  adopted  at  this  advanced  stage  of 
the  work  which  would  not  destroy  that  uniformity  in  the  character  of 
construction  which  it  has  hitherto  been  deemed  important  to  preserve. 
The  company  cannot,  in  accordance  with  the  law,  diminish  the  capacity 
of  the  canal,  and  it  is  presumed  will  not  desire  to  render  the  work  in  any 
respect  inferior  to  the  original  design. 

The  estimates  of  the  cost  of  completing  the  canal  are  now  given  as  they 
were  submitted  to  Governor  Davis  and  Capt.  Swift  whose  very  elaborate 
and  valuable  report  contains  a  vast  amount  of  exceedingly  useful  and 
interesting  information  in  relation  to  the  cost  of  completion,  the  various 
plans  proposed,  and  other  matters  connected  with  the  subject  of  the  ca- 
nftl  ?.nd  canal  property. 

The  amount  of  work  performed  is  something  greater  than  it  was  esti- 
mated when  Gov.  Davis  and  Capt.  Swift  were  here,  as  there  were  at  that 
time  several  unsettled  accounts  which  have  since  been  closed,  and  have, 
in  the  aggregate,  added  somewhat  to  the  cost  of  the  work  performed. 
The  statement  marked  A,  accompanying  this  report  exhibits  the  various 
items  of  work  which  make  up  the  aggregate  of  expense  from  the  com- 
msncement  of  operations  in  1830,  to  the  final  suspension  in  1843,  and  the 
abstracts  appended  thereto  show  the  cost  of  the  respective  divisions  and 
by  whom  the  work  was  done. 

In  estimating  the  cost  of  completing  the  canal  upon  the  original  plan 
of  the  "deep  cut,"  an  additional  depth  of  excavation  has  been  estimated 
from  section  No.  1,  to  section  No.  15,  inclusive.  The  declivity  given  for 
this  distance  originally  was  80.100  of  a  foot.  In  the  estimate  now  sub- 
mitted this  declivity  is  taken  away,  making  the  depth  of  excavation  at 
Chicago  river  80.100  more  than  was  first  designed.  This  increases  thq 
average  depth  of  cutting  for  this  distance  40.100  of  a  foot.  The  estimate 
is,  however,  made,  merely  to  increase  the  depth  without  changing  the 
slopes  of  the  old  banks,  so  that  the  width  at  Chicago  river,  instead  of  be- 
ing thirty-six  feet  at  bottom  as  before,  will  be  contracted  to  32.8  feet. 

The  estimated  cost  of  completing  the  canal  on  the  different  plans  pro- 
posed is  as  follows,  to- wit: 

1st.  The  deep  cut,  or  original  plan  with  the  trifling  alteration  before 
valluded  to,  $2,359,772  90. 

2d.  The  Summit,  elevated  eight  feet  at  Chicago  river  above  the  pre- 
sent level,  and  the  waters  of  the  Calumet,  Du  Page  and  Des  Plains,  in- 
troduced upon  the  Summit,  and  the  Kankakee  upon  the  Juliet  level, 
$1,485,095  86. 

3d.  The  same  plan  as  the  3d  with  the  addition  of  a  feeder  from  Fox 
river  at  Aurora  to  the  Summit  will  cost  $1,772,035  53. 

4th.     Same  plan  as  the  third,  except  the  Kankakee  feeder  is  (o   be  in- 
troduced   upon    the    Dresden,   instead    of  the    Juliet   level,   will  cost 
31.733,240  52. 
4 


(50)  •  34 

5th.  The  same  plan  as  the  third,  with  fhe  omission  of  the  Calumet 
feeder,  will  cost  $1,618,641  08. 

6th.  The  same  plan  as  the  fifth,  except  that  the  Kankakee  will  be  in- 
troduced upon  the  Dresden  level,  will  cost  $1,570,846  07. 

The  a.bove  estimates  of  cost  were  the  only  ones  submitted  to  the  agents 
of  the  bond-holders,  but  plans  differing  from  any  proposed  might  be  adopt- 
ed. For  instance,  the  size  and  declivity  of  the  Fox  river  feeder  could 
be  increased,  so  that  it  might  be  unnecessary  to  introduce  either  the  Calu- 
met or  Kankakee  feeders,  and  the  cost  could  probably  be  diminished  by 
such  an  arrangement.  But  still  there  are  many  circumstances  to  be  ta- 
ken into  consideration,  which  render  it  questionable  whether  the  cheap- 
est plan,  which  would  give  an  adequate  supply  of  water  for  the  canal, 
should  be  adopted.  By  introducing  all  the  feeders  named  a  more  certain 
supply  of  water  would  be  provided,  and  a  much  larger  water  power  cre- 
ated, and  at  the  same  time  a  greater  length  of  navigable  canal  secured 
than  by  any  other  arrangement  which  could  be  adopted.  The  whole- 
length  of  additional  navigation  by  the  construction  of  these  navigable 
feeders,  and  forming  a  tow-path  on  the  Calumet  river  to  the  State  line,, 
would  be  about  seventy  miles;  or  a  distance  more  than  equal  to  two- 
thirds  of  the  main  line  of  canal.  It  will,  however,  at  once  be  seen  that 
the  construction  of  all  these  feeders  with  the  necessary  structures  upon 
them,  will  add  considerably  to  the  annual  expense  of  repairs  and  superin- 
tendence when  the  whole  shall  have  been  completed. 

It  is  no  part  of  my  duty  at  this  time  to  recommend  any  particular  plan 
lor  the  completion  of  the  canal,  and  the  subject  has  been  alluded  to 
merely  to  show  that  there  are  many  important  questions  involved  in  it, 
and  that  a  thorough  investigation  of  facts  will  be  necessary  to  secure  the 
best  possible  plan.  The  discretionary  powers  given  to  the  trustees  of  the 
Company  will  very  properly  be  much  greater  than  were  conferred  upon 
the  Board  of  Commissioners,  for  it  is  obvious  that  the  cost  of  the  canal 
might  have  been  made  much  less  had  not  the  law  fixed  the  plan  of  certain 
parts  of  the  work.  For  instance,  the  western  terminus  of  the  canal  must 
be  "at  or  near  the  mouth  of  the  little  Vermilion  river  on  lands  belonging 
to  the  State,"  and  the  expense  encountered  in  consequence  of  this  law 
has  been  much  greater  than  any  additional  advantage  which  can  possibly 
accrue  to  the  State  from  the  continuation  of  the  canal  below  Ulica. 

I  mention  this  error  as  the  effect  of  the  law  authorizing  the  construc- 
tion that  it  may  not  hereafter  be  charged  as  the  fault  of  the  officers  who 
made  the  location.  The  law-makers  were  to  blame  for  the  restrictions 
imposed. 

It  has  been  mentioned  in  former  reports  that  considerable  expense 
has  been  encountered  to  confer  additional  value  upon  canal  prop- 
erty at  some  particular  points  upon  the  canal,  as  at  Lockport,  Juliet,  Ot- 
tawa, and  La  Salle.  These  are  important  town  sites  owned  principally 
(except  Juliet)  by  the  State,  and  the  money  expended  forthe  above  men- 
tioned object  will  unquestionably  be  much  more  than  counter-balanced 
by  the  increased  value  of  the  property.  But  if  the  work  were  regarded 
with  strict  reference  to  the  greatest  economy  in  the  construction  of  a 
canal  for  the  purpose  of  navigation  on/?/,  I  am  aware  that  the  experi- 
enced engineer  would  pronounce  some  of  the  expenditures  injudicious.  It 
is,  therefore  more  than  probable  that  when  the  circumstances  which  gor- 


36  (51) 

erned  the  plans  and  location  shall  have  been  forgotten,  an  error  in  judg- 
ment or  a  want  of  skill  may  be  charged,  where,  perhaps  the  interests  of 
the  State  have  been  most  efficiently  subserved. 

But  be  this  as  it  may,  there  can  be  no  question  either  now  or  hereafter 
that  the  importance  of  this  route  was  such  as  to  require  an  improvement 
of  great  capacity— at  least  equal  in  all  respects  to  the  canal  commenced 
and  so  nearly  completed.  When  the  work  was  first  commenced  few 
doubted  the  ability  of  the  State  to  finish  it,  and  that  she  had  the  ability 
is  proved  by  the  fact  that  much  more  than  enough  in  the  aggregate  to 
complete  it  was  long  since  expended  upon  the  various  other  improvements 
undertaken. 

It  is  useless  now  to  regret  that  operations  were  not  concentrated  upon 
one  or  two,  or  three  improvements  until  these  were  finished.  Had  this 
been  done  the  revenue  arising  from  the  tolls  upon  these  improvements, 
and  the  sales  of  property  for  which  a  demand  would  then  have  been  cre- 
ated, would  have  effectually  preserved  the  credit  of  the  State,  and  affor- 
ded means  at  some  future  period,  perhaps,  for  prosecuting  a  more  exten- 
sive system  of  public  works  than  can  now  be  anticipated, 

The  completion  of  the  canal,  it  is  now  evident,  is  the  only  means  of 
enabling  our  State  to  pay  her  debts  and  restore  her  credit;  and  if  this 
work  can  be  completed  at  any  reasonable  sacrifice,  and  a  disposition  is 
shown  on  the  part  of  the  State  to  do  all  that  is  in  her  power  to  meet  exist- 
ing liabilities,  the  object  will  undoubtedly  be  effected.  But  so  long  as 
the  canal  remains  unfinished  ''shadows,  clouds  and  darkness"  must  con- 
tinue to  rest  upon  us.
